    This is irrelevant but I don't know where else to put it or how to write in. Tonight I cried because I didn't know whether or not my faith was genuine or if my wicked heart had just assured me that it was, and I cried. I cried for a good long while. And I prayed for a good long while. And I put my head to the floor and I begged for a good long while. "Jesus, please, hold me and keep me for all eternity and never let me go." And finally, I asked, "Jesus, if you never grant me anything else, not even one more breath, Jesus, I beg You, grant me You." And for as long as I had cried, in that one moment I felt all the comfort I ever needed and I broke down and cried even harder.

      SkyStorm Plays - I think the fact that you are going through this struggle speaks volumes. Only a Son/daughter of God would have a troubled spirit trying to discern if their salvation/relationship was genuine. If you were of the world, (not of God) you wouldn’t care. I recommend looking up a sermon here on YT by Paul Washer. He talks on the same topic: how to know you are saved. A few other pastors also speak on this topic but he’s the first one that comes to mind. But he goes over some scriptures that can give you the assurance you’re looking for. May God bless you with the peace your heart is longing for, my sibling in Christ.

      @@drewbc32 I am thankful not because of the inherent reassurance in what has been said, but for the fruit which is evidence of sanctification which is evidence of justification which is evidence that Christ is alive in me and that I am alive in Christ. I used to be addicted to pornography. And only by the sword of the spirit could the sin of my sexual immorality have been killed. I read the Word because I seek fellowship with God and because Scripture is the only way through which it can be attained. I can't just pray and ask for the Holy Spirit to reveal things to me because the Holy Spirit wrote a book. I hate my sin. I hate the sins of others. I love the Word of God. I love sinners and so I share the gospel with them in hopes that they would examine themselves, as is evident in one of my friends who would identify himself as belonging to a group of heretics who call themselves "Christian identity". He believes that he is saved but I fear for his soul as I feared for my own. And so when I thank God, I thank Him for reminding me that there is fruit. I appreciate the instrument, you, which God used to bring that to my attention.

      But then... Is that my wicked heart deceiving me again? I know that Jesus Christ is Lord but the devil knows it too. I know that the day of judgment will come but the devil knows it too. And then, maybe it's just that I have a healthy amount of biblical fear but then there's that tightness in my chest and I think... Christ says, "my burden is light, and my yoke is easy". And though I don't worry about daily life and though daily life is easy, even when it's not... Do I worry too much for my soul? If the burden is light and the yoke is easy?

      I've read that Martin Luther had the same thoughts as you are having. (But then again, I've had them too, and I know of a few Long standing Christians of 20 years or so that had them too) You must remember that Satan is "The Accuser of the Brethren." (Rev. 12:10) That also to ourselves, not just others. "16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
      (Jn. 3:16) We cannot get salvation due to ANYTHING we did. say or think. (Not that we shouldn't try to obey Gods word, and will for our lives ((Jms 2:18) Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.) as It is because we accepted The Betrayal, suffering, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of our sins. But, your love of God shows! It is said: Satan knows he can.t steal your salvation, but he can steal your joy. And that's what he's always after! Try desiringgod.org/article/the-devil-cannot-condemn-you it's a good little reading on the subject. Jesus Bless You!

You don't call the Presidents wife "President", you call her the first lady, if you are a doctor and your wife is not you don't call the wife doctor either. So why would you consider calling a Pastor's wife the same if she is not?

    This is a slippery slope for the church; Lucifer wanted to share a leadership title too. I personally would not belong to a church where everyone shared the title Pastor.
    As a congregation we should want to know the Pastor of the church is an educated, experienced and ordained man.
    This would be like hearing nurses in some hospitals will now be referred to as Dr. [...]
    Physicians work hard to earn their degree, we have no issue acknowledging that, and addressing them as Dr. Jane Doe. So why would we not honor a man, with a calling, chosen by God, who is educated, and ordained, in the church with his own title as Pastor? As part of a congregation, I personally have that need to be under that kind of leadership.
    The Bible is also very clear, women are not to lead a church. As a woman, if I find this offensive, I have been offended by the one who created me. To serve in a community under a respectful leader, should not be offensive.

      So does this verse means we don’t have to go by the scriptures?

  • @Samuelh777
    @Samuelh777 Рік тому +3

    Correct. We need to go into the Greek language in order to find out how Paul used the terms: elder, pastor, bishop, shepherd, and overseer.
    One thing to point out is that while some denominations and churches distinguish between the terms elder, pastor, bishop, shepherd, and overseer, the Bible uses those terms interchangeably to refer to one office-the office of pastor. So, when we talk about an elder, pastor or shepherd, we are talking about the same office.
    - In the NT there are 18 Occurrences for the Greek word ποιμήν (poimén) = Pastor/Shepherd
    - In the NT there are 66 Occurrences for the Greek word πρεσβύτερος (presbuteros) = Elder
    - In the NT there are 4 Occurrences for the Greek word ἐπισκοπή (episkopé) = Overseership
    - In the NT there are 5 Occurrences for the Greek word ἐπίσκοπος (episkopos) = Overseer/Bishop
    One clear example of how these terms are used interchangeably is in Acts 20:17, where Paul “called the elders of the church to come to him” (Acts 20:17). At the end of Paul’s farewell discourse, he said, “Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood” (Acts 20:28). In this one passage, Paul used the terms elder and overseers interchangeably because they mean and refer to the same thing-a pastor.
    Numerous other examples prove this point (Titus 1:5,7; 1 Peter 5:1-2).
    This is essential groundwork for the discussion because as we turn to Paul’s first letter to Timothy and look at the qualifications for an overseer (1st Timothy 3:1-7), we know we’re looking at the office of pastor, bishop, and shepherd.

    A pastor should know what the Bible teaches and abide by it and preach it faithfully. If a woman is taught in the scripture, she would know that a woman cannot become a Pastor as she may not take authority over a man or teach men. If she does not know or agree with the scriptures, then she would not be fit to be a pastor anyway.

      Kudos to you!!! Names and titles are a huge detriment to the living church. Jesus avoided names and titles constantly. He even aggressively challenged any name people gave him.
      Someone who is wise would never allow themselves to be referred to that way. Why? Because it requires two or more interpretations of the name or title to be agreed upon. That’s very rare at best. Then there’s the problems of intent, function, purpose, responsibility, expectations, pride, definition, etc.etc. that people demand of someone with such an “important” title.
      Jesus even refused to define the word...”truth”...at the point where doing so may have saved his life. And the title of “Christian” has been so used and abused that it is virtually useless. It can mean anything to anyone for any reason. It needs to go! It’s little more than a defensive shield that people hide behind so that they don’t have to account for themselves or be transparent to others.
      There’s much more to say about this but just remember....fools love names and titles while the wise reject them as useless forms of identity.

    In 1 Corinthians 12:4-6, it is written, "Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone."

Doesn't the teaching of the Nicolaitans mean overcoming the laity? Weren't people surprised at the mature teaching of the Apostles BECAUSE they were laymen? The reality is that judges in the old testament were called shepherds (see 2 Samuel 7:7) and Deborah was a judge who clearly had authority from God to guide those in leadership.

      Damian Martinez Yes agreed, very much deceived, we live in a culture where everyone wants to re-define everything for themselves, around themselves. Ironically their autonomous epistemology fits perfectly within the pushed narrative of a very secularizing society, one that is in utter rebellion to the Word of God(like America rn). They REFUSE to allow the Scripture to define itself in matters of faith and godliness, but finesse their desired meaning from it. The Scriptures are clear, they just don’t like what it says.

      I am a man and would love to be loved but I have lived a selfish life for many many years. Perhaps in what I first stated it comes from a woman... I am heartbroken in a way... I would love to be with a wife and be glory to God about it all... I may burn for it at times when I feel lonely of companionship but I am still working things out for my own spirit and minds understanding.
      I the odd time think about seeing a woman that I fall in love with but I don't have much desire for it as I have my own spirit I'm fighting for and finding a woman of God seems quite uh difficult to begin with and I'm still healing from my past way of life and relationship with my son's mother.

    Summary attempt: in our day and age, "pastor" should be reserved for elders/overseers. If you're in a formal role at your church, maybe in charge of small groups, men's and/or women's ministry, but your elders/church is not inclined to install you as an elder, then they shouldn't call you a "pastor" either. - what's the best alternative? Minister? Deacon? Director?
    Should we scrap the term pastor altogether and just call each other brother, sister or elder where appropriate? I have encountered a lot more widely varried secular and church opinion on what this title means compared to what Piper suggests (mine is an Australian context).

    • @danball4410

      Agreed that even using the word "Pastor" is misleading and unbiblical. The terms brother and sister are more appropriate. The Lord taught not to be called leader. Elders do have a overseeing and shepherding role that is recognized, and deacons have roles to lead the logistical serving, but they should not be taking a title that causes a clergy laity division when the NT does not have one.

      A woman could only be given the authority by God to execute a man for his sin, if women are spiritually equal to men. A Judge could judge homicide cases according to Deuteronomy. Therefore a Judge could execute a man.

    Question! So GOD had called me into leading a campus ministry on my college campus as president. I led for 3 years in obedience to His will (even though I rebelled a lot lolz), but I taught men and women believers and unbelievers about Jesus, led prayer sessions, trained leaders, did outreach events, and also invited male pastors to come teach the Word! I would always tell people that I am not a Pastor when I found that people would come to me regularly for spiritual guidance, as I do not occupy that spiritual office! However, the Lord still tasked me with teaching the Word, how to read it, and in that how to lead people to faith. With all of this being said, what actually differentiates me as a minister (kind of like Joyce Meyer, just not on a international level ahaha) vs a Pastor, if GOD had placed me in charge of His flock in campus ministry?

      I have so many questions about the theology of women in leadership, questions for those who approve of it, but mostly for those who don't.
      The main question I keep coming back to is what about Deborah? She led Israel under the old covenant.
      What about all the female prophets named in the bible? How then can anyone argue that a woman can't hold one of the five-fold offices (including teacher), let alone operate in those giftings without holding an office?
      And in 1 Timothy 2, Paul says he doesn't permit a woman to teach or hold authority over a man, and in the very next chapter gives the qualifications of overseers and deacons. He says for both, they should be the husband of one wife. But then in Romans 16:1, he names Pheobe as a deacon (same Greek word). So either he's contradicting himself, or we're not properly understanding what he's saying in 1 Timothy.

If your church is lacking in one area, you draw from the Scripture to correct/mend it.

To suggest otherwise, is to make GOD to be a liar, a mere man full of contradiction and err. The issue isn't whether or not women are allowed or should lead, it is about context, hence why the discussion video focuses on the issue or title and responsibilities of a pastor, not a questioning of how GOD has poured His Spirit upon the flesh of both young men and women (Acts 2) to fulfill the assignment of spreading the good news. What you are spreading is legalism, and we need to be careful that as we enter the Word that we aren't doing so with a heart conditioned already from societal lies, based on gender, or preconceived notions reading the Word without the leading of the Holy Spirit to teach us the Truth. HUSBANDS are the head over their households and men have certain duties, but it does not nor will it ever negate women in spiritual leadership the Lord has placed over both men and women to submit.

    I think using the term 'complimentarianism' is causing some of the problems in the modern Church. It isn't helpful - and in my experience here in the UK - has been used with a very broad brush. For example, our local evangelical Anglican parish state that they are "complimentarians", whilst allowing women to teach, preach, serve the eucharist, and take positions of authority. I wouldn't call that "complementarianism" at the best of times. But that's what they have co-opted in order to justify a very liberal position on shepherding. I take the point on the term "pastor", but again, this would tend to just mean that Churches will avoid the label and not address the point: women in public leadership in Churches.

    • @8784-l3b
      @8784-l3b Рік тому

      Complementarianism
      That false and confusing teaching, that states Christian women are less than
      Christian men in a spiritual way, but they really aren't, but they really are.
      The complementarian teaching prohibits a Christian woman from holding
      certain positions in a church. They can't be elders neither can
      they teach men. So why is that?
      The false teaching makes it clear that the priesthood of the New Covenant
      is tiered. There is a hierarchy. Those that are higher, the men, can be in
      leadership positions, like elder. They can teach other men. Those in the
      lower tier can not be in leadership positions, like elder. They are prohibited
      from teaching men, because the men are in the higher tier. It wouldn't make
      any sense.
      A new believer is automatically assigned their level, higher or lower,
      at the moment of salvation, as a birthright. Their gender determines
      their tier. A Christian can not move to a higher or lower tier.
      A Christian that is in the lower tier (woman) is not allowed to
      complain of the tier she was placed in. That would be sin, because
      God made her a woman by His choice. She should accept and also
      embrace her position in the lower tier.
      A church, is either a group of Christian men or a group of Christian men and women.
      A church can never be a group of Christian women, because it would be
      a group of only those in the lower tier. It would have no elders.
      But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
      -excerpt 1 Peter 2
      Since the teaching states that women are spiritually inferior to men, but
      they aren't, but they are, when did that start?
      But I do not allow a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve. And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a wrongdoer.
      -excerpt 1 Timothy 2
      It started with the first woman. She was deceived, and sinned because of it. So we
      have a teaching that accepts that men and women are fallen beings. Both genders
      are sinful by nature. However women are different. They are lacking the ability
      that men have to judge if some situation, some concept or teaching is sinful. This
      inability was passed down from Eve to all women. It remains to this day. A woman
      in our time was 'lacking' from birth, even from the womb.
      So what can be done? Nothing according to Complementarianism. That is because
      an anointing of that powerful masculine being called the Holy Spirit, is just not
      sufficient. Even the Holy Spirit can not elevate even one Christian woman to the
      spiritually superior level of a Christian man.

    Careful study of the scripture will show that the role of "Pastor" is limited to men:
    So why are we seeing so many “women pastors” these days?
    I believe there’s a lot of ignorance in what calls itself a church these days - ignorance of the word of God…
    Also, we are in a time when there is a spirit of rebellion in both the world and what calls itself "the church"…
    In some of these cases I think there is a spirit of “fear and approval” on the senior pastor or senior leadership of the church
    (Men in leadership roles who fear the approval of their wives)
    The Pastor’s wife definitely has opportunities for ministry as a godly woman should -
    She can teach the younger women and be used in evangelism and counseling sisters in the church, prayer ministry, miracles, helps, prophecy, mercy, and children’s ministry, etc
    But this does not give her the title of “Pastor” or any other role that that would encompass leadership over men in the church in any way
    She may help her husband with finances, but this does not give her a pastoral role
    She may help in the “administration”, but a church is not a worldly corporation and does not have C Level executives
    There is no such thing identified in scripture as an “Executive Pastor” for example
    A Pastor is a Shepard of the flock, He has a God given anointing and a tremendous responsibility and accountability before God
    Too many so called “Pastors” of today are not even “God called” to that role and they don’t have the anointing and have no clue of their responsibility before God
    There are plenty of opportunities for women, (and men), for ministry - but you don’t get to be a Pastor because you choose to be
    The role of a Pastor is a gift of God to the church, and He appoints those He has called to this role and there is a tremendous weight of responsibility that goes with it.
    To just flippantly use the title for those who serve in other ways in the church is a misuse and misunderstanding of the gravity of God’s call.
    To name the Pastor’s wife as a Pastor in the church is a misunderstanding of scripture and a deception that can lead to other problems in the church
    Paul, writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit said in his instructions for the church:
    I do not allow a a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man…
    ( 2 Tim 2:12 )
    The role of a Pastor comes with an authority over men in the church
    A woman who assumes that authority is in rebellion to the Word of God, and this invites the activities of evil spirits

I also think that even Paul can't be a pastor of a church because he is either unmarried or widower..but he was preaching outside the church where he stayed (Acts 28:30-31)...I believe a woman can also preach or teach outside the church just like Paul did..examples four unmarried daughters who were prophetess in book of acts, Anna in Luke, Deborah in judges 4...a note: though Deborah name is not mentioned in the NT, Barak name is mentioned in the Hebrews 11..Barak is identified only with Deborah in chapters 4 and 5 of Judges...If one has to explain about Barak in Hebrews 11, they can not ignore Deborah..moreover even Rahab's name is mentioned about in Hebrews and James....in 1 Peter 3, women are said to take the examples of the past "women"(plural). Sarah is one such woman...what about Deborah,Huldah, Anna?....moreover Roman 16 says that Phoebe is a servant of a church...another translation says Phoebe is a deaconess.......I have couple of questions. Does prohibitions in 1 Cor 11, 1 Cor 14, 1 Timothy 2 addresses only married couples or women and men in general???because as for as my perception, the context implies married couples only(with respect to Adam and Eve)

    Names and titles are rarely profitable. That’s how dogmatic judgements get started. “Christian “ is a prime example. That handle has been so used and abused that it is virtually useless. “I’m a Christian”....is practically an insult and is cause for judgement and all types of interpretations pertaining to the claim maker. Any name or title must be accompanied by actions that confirm the title. Even that is no guarantee of the authenticity of the recipient or the user.
    If someone is truly wise, they would never refer to themselves as such. Even if someone else refers to them that way, they are going to be
    questioned as to what that name or title means not just to one but both parties. Jesus was no different...when people called him “good teacher” he quickly corrected them. When people pointed out his brothers or other family members he again corrected them. Jesus was obviously opposed to names and titles. Piper loves them! This is just one way to identify the authenticity of who someone says they are.

    Unfortunately there has been some confusion between a spiritual gifting and a role or office within the church. Pastors, otherwise referred to as "shepherd teachers" in Ephesians 4 are not necessarily seen as a role but as a spiritual gifting from the Holy Spirit which Jesus poured out on the church (Acts 2). The Spirit is said to be given to both males and females (Joel 2) so there is no distinction in who can receive these gifts. The office of overseer or elder within the church (1 TIm 3) is specifically spoken of to apply to males in context...but only with the same qualifications given to female leaders within the next few chapters. The role of elder or overseer is not equatable with the pastoral or teaching gift. The Scriptures do not teach that along with pastors or teachers or evangelists, prophets, etc that the Spirit also gives overseers or elders since those roles are roles, not gifts.
    Furthermore, Paul would be invalidating his own teaching (if the understanding we are using was what he meant) as he permits prophets to speak in the name of the Lord to the rest of the church (1 Cor 14)- we learn that some of these are women later on in Acts who address the church.
    I propose we return to the Scriptural way of defining, interpretting, and speaking about these roles and spiritual giftings. Women and men can and have been evangelists, shepherds, teachers, apostles (not the office or role), and prophets (not the office or role) throughout the book of Acts and later Church history up unto the moment.
    Lastly, the reason why I post this comment (as I never do) is because teaching like this has marred God's glory for centuriers. I love John and believe him to be wiser and smarter than most, but men are fallible and able to misunderstand the Scriptures. God gives us the Spirit so we can glorify Him. When we operate in these giftings He gets more glory. I want any woman to know that the Scriptures testify to this truth: women can, should, and will continue to be God glorifying pastors, leaders, preachers and etc. Do not be afraid to operate in the power of the Spirit because of men- May God bless you all as you continue to discuss this matter and may God get the rightful glory that He deserves- through both the men and the women He has seen fit to be pastors and equip His church so that we all may attain to the full stature of maturity in Christ.

    People have selective hearing at not one instance he said that women cannot be pastors. I believe that is what the real question was. He answered the question asked not the "real" question I believe this person was asking. God has poured his spirit on all flesh so I believe that by the Spirit women can be:(1) apostles, (2) prophets, (3) evangelists, (4) pastors (shepherds), and (5) teachers. When I read Acts 10, I believe that God did not just refer to gentiles to women. We need to stop calling impure what God is calling pure. We are under a new covenant, the fundamental of that covenant has not changed but the traditions of the covenant have greatly changed let not be deceived by the traditions and miss when God is speaking to us.

    Do you see? All of these men who went to seminary and are so " wise" and "learned", God HIDES his truth from them since they are so prideful of their so called knowledge( man made doctrinal bias by which they twist the Word of God). He reveals truths to the humble. Like He said in another place- unless you are converted and become like little children, you will not see the kingdom of heaven. And the greatest will humble himself like a little child. See the connection? Jesus links childlike faith with being humble. He only reveals his truths to the humble. The entire church system is full of the pride of man! "Oh my pastor is so smart, I believe whatever he says even if it flies in the face of Almighty God's Word." Of course women are not to be "pastors". But neither should men such as john piper be called pastor. They are prideful, puffed up, arrogant and deceived. And deceiving others.

    the Bible says women can teach and preach. just as men
    first of all there is no male no female in Christ Lord Jesus (gal 3;28). God doesnt look at us through flesh because those who look at the flesh are carnally minded (rom 8;5)
    secondly, in 1 tim 2 apostle paul talks about ONE woman to not teach one man. God is very specific and He does know how to use singular and plural form. when in the earlier verses paul was talking about modest dressing style when referren to women he used PLURAL form and then he talked about some issue we do not know about he used singular form. he forbade one woman to teach one man. he added that she was not to usurp authority over the man. of course! nobody can usurp authority over another person. men cannot usurp authority over women as well. men are to be submitted to their wives just as women to their husbands (eph 5;21), they are to walk in humility and die for their wives just as Christ died for the church (eph 5;25), if they want to be first they are to be slaves of all (mark 9;35).
    also priscilla taught a man, apollos (acts 18;26),
    we all are to teach and admonish one another (col 3;16). i repeat ALL
    in 1 cor 14;35 the verse talking about women not speaking in the church does not say that women are to be silent in the church and cannot preach. it talks about chatting of women thorugh which they were disturbing the service. in 1 cor 11 paul taks about women praying and prophesying in church so women did speak in the church.
    also, infamous jezebel was preaching in those times and she was deceiving people. Lord Jesus was correcting her about deceiving people and what did He say? He told her to repent... of what...of preaching and teaching? No! of her fornication.
    in 1 cor 14;26 we read that everyone who comes to the church meeting can serve the church whether it is psalm, doctrine, revelation. everyone is everyone.
    also in eph 4;11 we read that it is God who chooses apostles pastors prophets etc. Women are prophets chosen by God and the office of the prophet is mentioned in this verse next to the office of pastor or apostle or teacher. women are not excluded. all the offices are mentioned in the same verses. if women can be prophets they also can be pastors and teachers.
    these are just a few reasons women can teach and preach to men and be pastors so stop lying and deceiving people.
